It was nice to have a bed, shower and water so close to Death Valley, although not as short a drive as Google Maps shows. The place is quirky with a hilarious backstory. Best of luck to the family trying to bring the historic saloon back to life.

Zachary is a helpful host and answers any questions you might have. We stayed three nights and visited Tecopa, Shoshone, China Ranch Date Farm, and Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. The site is basic and safe.

Brandon was super friendly and welcoming! The site was nice, hookups were easy. Very clean & well kept. Great signage and decorated really nicely & so fun- you can tell they take pride in it. Remote but easy to get to. They are just waiting for their license so they can sell their wine. Would definitely stay again - even bought the T-shirts.

Weekend Trip to Tarantula Ranch

Wonderful place. It is very secluded and you have everything you need. They have gone above and beyond with the look and feel. You will have everything you need. I was in my own van but I walked around and could tell that they pay attention to detail and their accommodations are perfect. You have to use the outdoor shower.

This was my second time visiting, it is kept extremely clean and is a wonderful place to view the stars. We were on our way between Zion and Death Valley so a perfect place to spend the night.

Weekend Trip to AREA-95 | Desert Nebula

The campsite is very isolated - nearest structure is several hundred meters away, but 15 minutes from services (gas station). The site is gravel and pretty level, and so blissfully quiet. Ane the sky was so dark and clear, all the big constellations were easily viewable - Sagittarius, Scorpio, Cassiopeia, so many. Next time, I'll bring my telescope. Even if for only one night, make this a part of your rotation. On second thought, no body go there- yeah that's it. Leave it all for me - Mwaaahaa it's all mine.

Lovely space carved out of the desert. Beautiful and austere vistas with gorgeous sunsets over the Amargosa Mtns. Amenities are as described and clean. The host was very responsive when I had questions. Would immediately stay here again next time I'm through this area.

Weekend Trip to Tarantula Ranch

We stayed in the RV spot close to the house and it was easy to find. It's a beautiful piece of property and they have many amenities. The only thing I would caution is there's no shade in the heat of the summer when you stay in the RV site. We went for walks down the gravel road and found a shady place to relax just a few miles down the road.

The host was very responsive to our messages. Even though he could not be there in person, he gave us all the necessary directions so we were able to settle quickly. The location is very quiet. Depending on where you are coming from, Google maps might take you through an unpaved road to get there. However, there is a paved road passing through the city of Crystal. The place was extremely quiet.

Great stay; a little oasis in a desert place. Amenities were well-stocked, modern and clean. We liked the style of everything very much. If our travelling schedule would’ve let us, we would’ve stayed longer!

Beautiful spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. Great for star gazing too. Bar is located in a small quiet town named Crystal, NV. The closest town for gas and food is Pahrump which is about 20 minutes away. My place is perfect if you want to get away from the city for a little bit, or if you are traveling the country in your RV, trailer, or tent. My place is very unique if you are looking for a different place to stay other than an RV park. Good vibes only. :) Learn more about this land: I am located one hour away from Death Valley National Park and twenty minutes from Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge and Devil's Hole. And an hour to Las Vegas and Pahrump about twenty minutes away.  Google Maps and GPS will sometimes get you lost. Please message me for better directions after booking.

Overview

About

Golfers beware of the Devils Golf Course—it is said that "only the devil could play golf on such rough links." This immense salt flat has formed jagged spires as it has eroded over the centuries. In this secluded valley you can listen for small pops and pings going off at random in the distance. These strange echoes are actually billions of tiny salt crystals expanding and contracting in the immense heat of Death Valley.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Devils Golf Course is during the cooler months of late fall, winter, and early spring. Summer brings extreme heat, with temperatures soaring above 120°F, making mid-May to mid-September less favorable for exploration.

Know before you go

Scenic driving is the primary activity, with the salt formations visible from the parking area.
Pets are not permitted on trails and should not be left in vehicles.
An entrance fee is required, so have your pass displayed in your vehicle.
Accessibility is considered, with compacted gravel paths suitable for most vehicles.
Plan your visit for sunrise, sunset, or night sky viewing for an unforgettable experience.
